Ai, ai, ai
Wanna roll with the wind
Ai, ai, ai
Wanna sit by the fire
And glance at the pouring rain
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai

Like a diamond in the sunshine
 |
| How vast could your world be? |
"Know that you are not your body; you are not your relationships; you are not your job title; you are not your dreams. Who you truly are is a great and vast energy, shining brightly with many facets. Like a diamond in the sunshine. Allow this essence to come forth now on earth as you walk your unique journey." - Kay Andrews

Lizard Love
These amazing pictures prove that a bunch of flowers can go a long way - even in the animal kingdom. A male sand lizard, perched on top of a plant, catches the eye of a female with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. After she carefully climbs up the plant to reach him, she accepts his gift and the pair form an almost perfect heart shape.
Say it with flowers: The male lizard appears to be wooing his potential mate with a bunch of flowers
But to prove the course of true love never did run smooth, the female then dramatically slips and falls off the plant - only for her doting new partner to dive to her rescue and help her down. The romantic drama was captured by keen photographer Alexey Tymoshenko.
'I took these pictures in the back of my parents house in Ukraine. I've been visiting there ever since I left home,' Alexey, 19, said. 'When I was a child one of my favourite things I used to do was play in the garden and watch the lizards. 'For many years I've learnt their behaviour - if you're friendly with them they are friendly with you because they get used to you and your hands very soon.
My hero: The female loses her balance and falls, only for her suitor to reach out and gently carry her to safety
'Usually 30 minutes is enough for them to understand you won't do them any harm and now I can photograph them without them being afraid of me.
'But I never thought they could be so passionate and helpful to each other. It was amazing watching one drop and the male dive to catch her.
'And I was especially surprised by the scene with the flower - I'm not a specialist and don't know what it means but it really looked like one lizard is proposing.'
The bride and groom: The happy couple are all smiles as they pose for photographer Alexey Tymoshenko
Alexey, from Ukraine, is studying engineering at university and takes photos as a hobby.
He added: 'I like to photograph nature, especially animals as they don't pose so you can photograph them as they are.'
Sand lizards spend a lot of time buried just below the surface of the sand, although they also enjoy basking in sunshine.

Soulmates
Soulmates by Pat McAllister
Soulmates by Artist Lena Reznikova
Soulmates - by Renee Dawson
..."when you both have worked out your karma with your other partners, you will definitely be together, and from then on, you will always be together each lifetime, until you both reach perfection and union with God."
How do I know if I have met my soulmate?
There are five indispensable characteristics of a soulmate encounter.
First, there is an Irresistible Force that will draw you to each other whenever you live on earth. You will surely meet when it is time for you to meet. No force on earth can prevent such a meeting.
Second, there is Immediate Soul Recognition once you meet. This recognition is on a soul level, not merely on the mental or emotional plane. It is much deeper and therefore more difficult to explain or understand, at first. But each one will recognize the other as his or her other half.
Third, the relationship is total. This means you are compatible in all seven levels of your being, not merely on some of them.
The seven levels of your being are the physical, etheric, emotional, astral, lower mental, higher mental and spiritual. That’s why a soulmate encounter is very strong and quite shocking or incredible to most people when it happens to them.
Fourth, there is no feeling of guilt. No matter what others say, no matter what society or religion may say, there’s no feeling of guilt about one’s feelings for the other.
Fifth, Soul Expanding or Soul Uplifting. A soulmate encounter is essentially or ultimately a spiritual encounter and not a physical one, for the job of a soulmate is to help each other grow spiritually and expand their consciousness.

Appreciate the Love in Your Life
Express gratitude to the one you love.
Research shows that gratitude is one of the most powerful—and efficient—ways to strengthen a romantic relationship (or any relationship, for that matter). Gratitude is relationship-strengthening because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and cared for by other people.
Celebrate the one you love by detailing all the things that you appreciate about him or her. Cut out a dozen paper hearts, and write one thing for which you are grateful on each.

Iris - Keeper of the Rainbow
 |
Throughout the ages, the rainbow has been the symbol of hope, a promise of better things to come. The ancient Greeks personified the rainbow as the goddess Iris, the favourite handmaiden and messenger of Hera, the queen of the heavenly court of Olympus. Carried by her shimmering wings, Iris travels so swiftly that mortals can see only the trail of her rainbow-coloured passage across the sky.

...every rock and tree and creature
has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

I believe in fairytales
"I love you, Flowers" by Cathy Delanssay
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast-
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.
When you press me to your heart
I’m in a world apart
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak
Angels sing from above-
Everyday words turn into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me and
Life will always be
La vie en rose.
From the song "La Vie en Rose"
